So many petition signatures to the Winne County School District's administrative assistant was appropriate.
According to organizers of a school board recall effort, Corey Zeller and Martin Bredhauer have filed an appeal with the Wisconsin Elections Commission after school board clerk Carrie Flagg deemed the petitions invalid because physical copies were never provided to her.

The Fonda-Line County Board recently approved the creation of four additional corrections officer positions
for the Sheriff's Office jail division.
Bob Nelson has more for Civic Media News.
County Executive Sam Kaufman says state administrative code now requires correction officers to watch over juveniles who are restrained or on suicide watch in the county's juvenile detention center.
The next step would be for the board to approve the funding for those positions in the 2027
county budget.
Coppen notes the county makes about 900,000 to a million dollars a year housing juveniles from other counties in the facility.
He says there is a bigger picture to consider when it comes to building a new jail.
But why it's a bigger picture is because as they talked about the jail project the question I will have is
do we want to build a juvenile facility?"
He says the county will have to consider whether it might be less expensive to house those juveniles in facilities outside the county.
